One of the primary goals of Forward Sioux Falls since its inception in 1987 has been ensuring that this community is on the "A" List of places considered for business expansion and that corporate executives in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles are aware of the possibilities of Sioux Falls as a business location. Innovative, consistent marketing has helped to achieve that goal, but the remarkable success of the Sioux Falls economy, especially during the downturn following 2000, has also generated its share of good press. Last year was no exception, as a wide range of publications shared with the nation the news about our community and its advantages. Highlights of last year's publicity success include: Best small place in America for Business and Careers - Forbes "By various measures, Sioux Falls ranks among the nation's best communities and best places in the country to locate a high-tech business." - Des Moines Register
Best states for buying health insurance: #1 South Dakota - Microsoft Business Central
"Companies moving to Sioux Falls routinely report an increase in productivity and a decrease in overhead costs." - Marketeer, Mpls-St. Paul's Business to Business Journal
Most entrepreneur-friendly states: #1 South Dakota - Small Business Survival Committee "Sioux(per) Falls" - Twin Cities.com Top Ten Business-Friendly State Tax Systems: #6 South Dakota - Area Development "Mpls-St. Paul [ranks] as the 13th most affordable city for biotech centers. Unfortunately, nearby rival Sioux Falls are even less expensive." - Twin Cities Business Journal "Historically, Pittsburgh has competed with Cleveland, Philadelphia and Baltimore. Now it will face new competition from places like . . .Sioux Falls." - Pittsburgh Business Times Most cost-effective place in US for biotech companies: Sioux Falls, SD - Nature Biotechnology
